Shilpa says that Tony Blair is very sweet!

Shilpa Shetty, who’s suddenly graduated from being a Bollywood ‘item girl’ to become the winner of Celebrity Big Brother and an icon in the UK, recently paid a visit to Westminste (House of Commons) during the Prime Minister’s Question Time – to meet political leaders. And word is out that British MP’s fell over themselves trying to meet the sultry siren. Prime Minister Tony Blair, with whom she exchanged pleasantries, was “very sweet” said Shilpa at a press conference held later. What’s more, Blair presented her with a portrait of the House of Commons, signed by him and wife Cherie.

At the same press conference, someone even asked her what the was the difference between the House of Commons and the Big Brother House (where all the action – racism related and otherwise – took place during the course of the reality show). Never at a loss for words, she shot back: “They are way polite in there (at the House of Commons), they get to leave and they know what’s going on in the outside world.” Touché Shilpa!
